Magneto-optical trapping forces for atoms and molecules with complex level structures

Laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules typically involves multiple transitions driven by several laser frequencies. We analyze how magneto-optical trapping forces depend on the angular momenta, F _l and F _u , and the g -factors, g _l and g _u , of the lower and upper states. When $...
